• Foam created by trapping gas in
a polymer matrix‒ The gas is the “Blowing Agent”
(BA)
• BA has several functions in the
foam‒ Expands the foam
‒ Supports cell structure
‒ Provides insulation
* Source: Internal Honeywell lab data based on 2-lb foam
Polyurethane Foam Basics
Type of gas in the cell has large influence on foam properties

• BA delivers up to 70% of a foam’s insulating value‒ Choice of BA influences how much LNG could be saved through lower
"boil-off rate" (BOR) over the life of a LNG Carrier
• Not all BAs are equal
‒ Some are better insulators (lambda) which leads to better BOR
‒ Some have better environmental properties than others–
Global Warming Potential (GWP)
Ozone Depleting Potential (ODP)
Volatile Organic Compound (VOC)
‒ Some are safer to use than others
Flammability
‒ Some make foam with higher strength and able to withstand external
conditions over time
Choice of blowing agent critical to insulation/mechanical performance

Enovate® 245fa in LNG Carriers
In 2014,
>50% of LNG ships were
adopted and built with
Enovate 245fa and the
adoption is accelerating
13 © 2015 Honeywell International All Rights Reserved
BOR with Enovate 245fa can be as low as 0.09%/day
• Lower and lower BOR is desired in the LNG carrier industry
• Enovate 245fa provides superior insulation performance at cryogenic temperature
• Enovate® 245fa option is now available in the following LNG carrier types
• Mark III & Mark III Flex
• NO96-LO3
• Moss-type
Trend of Insulation in LNG Carrier
Better Insulation Performance at cryogenic temperature
-> Lower BOR
-> Reduced LNG Loss during transport
-> Increase LNG Delivery
-> Maximize Profit
